The duties of the Senate are: To pass legislation concerning the activities of the college students, to bring about a closer relationship among the college administration, the faculty, and the student body, to make rules and regulations for the government of the student body as a whole, to supervise the election of association and class officers, and to make recommendations on appointments of students partici- pating in the athletic cabinet, the discipline committee, college social committee, and other college committees on which the Student Association has representation.

FORMER STUDENTS ASSOCIATION AFTER spending four happy years together as students, what happens to gradu- ating classes? VVho keeps up with them and can tell where the various indi- vidual members are and what they are doing when five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years have passed? How can they be found? What means is provided for maintaining contacts and disseminating personal news among the alumni? ls there any machinery set up or any means or agency whereby the alumni of the Oklahoma A. and M. College can associate themselves together in a body for service to each other and for the upbuilding and betterment of their alma mater? Since the first class went out from Old Central in 1896, an answer has been sought to these questions in some kind of an alumni association. ln 1920 the Alumni Corporation was formed and for the first time in the history of the college a secretary was employed. The realization of the need for a more inclusive and comprehensive organization was felt, and the Former Students Association was founded and incorporated in 1928 as the successor to the Alumni Corporation. Today, the Former Students Association represents all the former students and alumni of the Oklahoma A. and M. College. Its program includes the publica- tion ofthe A. and M. College Magazine, the maintenance of files and records of former students and alumni, the , fostering of class reunions, and homecomings, the opera- tion of a Placement Bureau, the preservation of his- torical materials, and the support and advancement of the interests of the institution by seeking to encourage the attendance of the best students and by backing the institutional program in every way possible. The Association being made up and governed by alumni and former students themselves, can only become what they make it. Its services will be expanded or con- tracted in proportion to the support given, and the Okla- homa A. and M. College itself will grow in inliuence and usefulness only as those who go out from her halls remain loyal to her and to each other and as they reliect credit Z upon her fair name and upon themselves.
